When important decisions have to be made like a merger, acquisition or capital raising, there is often an obligation for outside parties to review a company’s documents. This may require an exhaustive review of tens or thousands of confidential documents. To allow this to occur without risking the possibility of data breaches and resulting in a compliance violation, businesses should utilize a virtual data room.

Secure data rooms are often called VDRs. They allow users to access and review sensitive data online. A VDR provides top security and encryption to ensure that transactions are secure.

A secure dataroom allows for efficient collaboration as it lets multiple participants to work on projects at the same time. It also makes it easier to manage processes such as Q&A and document versions, making due diligence a much faster and easier process.

To safeguard documents, the majority of’secure data rooms’ use the old-fashioned login and password model. Any system that doesn’t stop authorized users sharing their login credentials (and virtual data room consequently your documents) is not appropriate for its use. These systems frequently make bold claims about their security, using terms such as’most secure information rooms”, ‘highest level of security’ etc. This is a form of marketing.

A secure data room uses an ISO 27001 certified system that offers granular access permissions, dynamic watermarking, two-factor authentication, and more to prevent document breaches in real time. It also ensures that every user activity is recorded and logged for auditing. This is the only way to ensure your documents remain secure even when shared with a third party.
